Players liking the new FanDuel + PokerStars experience.

Nice to see some positive comments coming in for the new PokerStars-FanDuel mashup.

No charges, no clarity, and definitely no payout for The Lodge.

The Lodge Card Club in Texas just got a break: no criminal charges filed as the 30-day deadline hit, according to PokerNews. Still, the state is hanging onto more than $2 million seized in the March raid.

PokerNews says the court document now focuses solely on alleged illegal gambling, dropping the money laundering angle altogether.

The future of the club remains uncertain. Texas law is murky about poker rooms like The Lodge, with some arguing the law allows clubs that don’t collect rake, while others remain skeptical. The standard for conviction is high, as PokerNews points out, and many similar clubs keep operating without trouble.
